The Augsburg-headquartered real assets investment manager has secured €351m ($412m) in refinancing, as part of a wider €540m ($634m) debt package, extending loan maturities by five years and lowering borrowing costs to support the asset’s long-term development. The Etzel storage facility is one of the country’s largest underground sites, comprising 75 operational salt caverns used [...]

Located in A Coruña, the facility will use renewable electricity to produce green hydrogen, which will be converted into green ammonia. As the technology provider and engineering contractor, the US-based firm will undertake early design work for Ignis to prove the project is technically and economically viable. The Spanish renewables and energy infrastructure company will [...]

The Amsterdam Municipal Executive awarded the H2Avennet project with the subsidy from its Climate and Energy Fund. The funding will cover early-stage development and engineering, with total project costs yet to be disclosed. Being undertaken by Alliander subsidiary Firan, the network will connect hydrogen importers, producers, and users, with hydrogen operating between 8 and 16 [...]

Singaporean start-up Meranti Green Steel said it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Anmah Energy to explore offtake from the consortium’s major electrolysis facility. Meranti plans to build a facility which will use natural gas and green hydrogen-fuelled direct reduced iron (DRI) to produce 2.5 mtpa hot briquetted iron (HBI) in Oman’s Duqm special [...]

Funded via Ofgem’s Network Innovation Allowance, the project will assess whether oxygen can act as a practical inhibitor to embrittlement. Penspen will also analyse alternative gas inhibitors, delivery mechanisms, and the design requirements for an oxygen dosing system suitable for National Gas’ planned hydrogen network. The company’s Innovation Engineer, Robert Best, explained that inhibitors could [...]

The Tree Valley station in Tainan is a demonstration site intended to act as a platform linking government, industry, and academia to advance local hydrogen applications. CPC’s Nanzih station in Kaohsiung can serve up to seven hydrogen buses per day and supports both 700 bar and 350 bar fuel cell vehicles. “With support from authorities [...]

The memorandum of understanding (MOU) will see Kyocera International explore producing Utility’s ceramic-metal electrochemical cell technology within in global manufacturing footprint in a bid to speed up time-to-market. The partnership aims to establish “high-volume” production lines, with initial plans of bringing capacity online in 2026 at Kyocera’s Fine Ceramics manufacturing facility in North Carolina, US. [...]

Under the agreement, Orlen will supply 360kg of hydrogen per day to fuel 18 Solaris buses, with the option to expand to 27 vehicles. Deliveries are expected to begin next year when the buses are rolled out. Up to 400,000kg of hydrogen will be delivered over the PLN 24.1m ($6.7m) contract, but that could increase [...]

Germany’s 2030 green hydrogen in transport quotas could require 1.1GW–4.2GW of electrolyser installations, according to US PEM player Electric Hydrogen. Earlier this week, Berlin approved its GHG-Quota, which would force fuel suppliers to reduce emissions by almost 60% in 2040, while implementing key parts of the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive III. This is a paid [...]

The Norwegian OEM has taken a final investment decision (FID) to build 1GW of production capacity at its Herøya facility. Representing an investment of NOK 300m ($29m), Nel will receive up to €135m ($158m) from the EU Innovation Fund, covering up to 60% of the industrialisation costs. Nel says its pressurised alkaline system costs less [...]
